As I posted before , I had a great time during the 2 years we lived in the USA ! But , as I read Ann's reply , something came back in my memory ! I was asked several times where Belgium was situated . One person even thought Belgium was somewhere in Russia ... !

I don't think kids get lots of geography at school in the US (I mean international geography) . Here , it is a tough subject at school . In my school , it was even required to know where EVERY country in the world was situated , its capital , etc..
